“I’m proud of this Steak ‘n Shake team. We pushed as hard as we could. I keep saying to the guys that the biggest thing is to keep coming home in the points. If we can be the top finishing Honda and gain some points then we’ve had a successful day. Obviously the three guys we are trying to keep up with in the championship all finished ahead of us but still I feel very good about it.'

“I think the Steak ‘n Shake car is very consistent. I felt extremely good about it off the bat but I think we just need to find a little bit more ultimate pace. It’s going to be a battle but we’ll be okay. We’ve got to look at the drag numbers to figure out the downforce level we want to be at but we feel like we were in the zone and it was off the ultimate pace a little bit.”

Verizon IndyCar Series driver James Hinchcliffe has been transferred out of the Intensive Care Unit at IU Health Methodist Hospital as the Canadian continues to make substantial improvement following surgery on May 18 for injuries to his pelvic area and upper left thigh.

The last time Tony Kanaan figured he had seen this many children was on a visit to Disneyland.

“As a driver, a crash like James (Hinchcliffe) had is just something you never want to see. I hope he makes a quick recovery. We had a clutch issue and didn’t get on track before the initial session was stopped when he crashed. Then when we got back out, the conditions were tricky. The car was sliding around a lot but we got a little better there at the end of the session. It’s going to be a tough race. We just need to wait and see what the weather conditions will be like on race day.”
